    We lost a photo-genic buck sometime last week here. He was a pretty good sized 7 point that we saw/filmed and got trail cam pics of all year. Hard to tell whether he was a 3.5 or a 2.5, and were not sure what killed him either (body was mangled pretty bad).

    Wonder brother Luke gets credit for the find ;)

    Real bummer. He had some nice palmation on the one beam, and looks like he would have blown up given 1-2 more years.

    He looks like he was going to turn into a stud.

    That's too bad. Winter is tough on deer, especially bucks.

    Tough break. Looks like he would of been a cool looking buck given a few more years.

    From the looks of things..he looks to have died from something natural. He was 300 yards or so away fromt he nearest road...and bow season has been closed since Super Bowl sunday. Winter may have got him..we have had TONS of snow the last couple weeks.

    Tough luck man. He has some likeable mass on him if he was just a young deer.

    Autopsy?

    Sucks to see that happen. I found a dead 8-pointer a couple of years ago that was a similar story. It has good mass throughout, and looked to have pretty good potential.
